Friend Chas.,
I was sure glad to get your card, I didn't even know you was a soldier untill I read it, but I've thot of you many times and wondered why you never wrote. I thot you was soldier, I don't know if I ever will be, but things look like I might some day. I'm going to register next Saturday. Carl has been in France over one month. How about Albin where is he? Now something about whats going on around here. Things dont grow fast around here now, but the corn sure ripens fast, some fields are ready to cut (illegible?), we drove one(?) trip(?) with the corn(?) finder(?) but we thot it is too green yet. wheat averages nearly 10 hv(?) around here, the pastures are quiet dry, the hay short, not much alfalfa this year, and too dry to plow now, we have about 80 acres left. Willie Nelson you know, Nils Nelson, Millie has already left camp, he wasnt there more than two weeks. Allin Nelson is there now. When you answer this tell all about your experience in the army and what kind (illegible?) you have in the D. B. Answer as soon as you can.
From your friend Emil G.
